22V51400020/07/2022BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERAVolkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021 Golf GTI, Jetta GLI, Jetta NF, Arteon FL, Tiguan LWB, 2022 Taos, Jetta PA, Tiguan PA, 2021-2022 Atlas Cross Sport, and Atlas FL vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.Dealers will update the infotainment software, free of charge.
